I have a slightly older and lower spec Toshiba laptop... maybe I should do that for Windows 95 and reinstall Windows 98 on the ThinkPad 760XL.
The ThinkPad is from mid-1997 and originally came with Windows 95, and has a 166 MHz Pentium; the Toshiba is from mid-1996 and has a 100 MHz Pentium.
Decisions, decisions.

I'd love to show you the end result but Mastodon's quote posting doesn't allow attaching images (Bluesky can do this just fine). Ugh.
End result in reply.

On second thought Internet Explorer 5.5 seems way too new for this laptop—I might reinstall basic Windows 95 again and only add Office '95.
Interesting though that it seems to run fine.

I got my first bucklin’ spring
Bought it at the Five and Dime
Typed it 'til my fingers bled

OK, I replaced the non-working Windows start menu with a open source alternative, this actually works fine and seems faster too
